The interchange is currently home to a flyer stop used by King County Metro and Sound Transit Express routes.
Shoreline South/148th station will be located adjacent to Interstate 5 at State Route 523 (NE 145th Street), which is situated between the cities of Seattle and Shoreline. The elevated station will be in the northeast corner of the interchange, attached to a 500-stall parking garage with access from 5th Avenue NE.[2][3]
In August 2016, Sound Transit moved the station's location approximately 400 feet (120 m) north of the initial site to Northeast 148th Street to improve bus connections.[4] A pedestrian bridge over I-5 at Northeast 148th Street is planned to be constructed by the City of Shoreline.[5]
The Northeast 145th Street flyer stop was built by Metro Transit in 1979, with thru ramps for both northbound and southbound buses. An additional set of ramps allows buses entering and exiting I-5 via SR 523 to serve the flyer stops.[6][7]
In October 2020, the Sound Transit Board approved renaming the station from Shoreline South/145th to Shoreline South/148th per a request from the Shoreline government to better reflect the revised location of the station.[8][9]
